Erickson Beamon FW 2012
I spent last night at Milk Studios covering the backstage scene at Erickson Beamon.
I was taping a segment for one of the show’s sponsors, scunci (you know, the hair accessories brand), so my focus was on the models’ fabulous 1920s-with-a-twist ‘dos (they used scunci products as the foundation for the styles, which in turn highlighted the incredible Erickson Beamon...

This Kind Of Life
I couldn’t sleep last night.
We’re making an offer on a second house (the one with lots of space that’s a bit of a blank slate, design-wise), and while I doubt the owners are going to come down enough to allow us to get it, they might…and I am definitely more than a little nervous. It is such a big deal. And I’m scared.
The fact is, of course, that this...

Girl Trouble
By which I mean “troubles with The Girls.”
Those girls.
Over the past few weeks, I’ve received two emails on opposite ends of the Breast Spectrum, and completely related to both of them.
Let’s take the first, from Cate:
My girls are 36 DD, which sounds nice in theory, but in reality means that beautiful, low cut v-necks immediately look like porn costumes. The thing...

ShoeMint Giveaway!
First, I obviously like everything about this photo, from the outfit (ooh) to that couch (OOH)…but mostly, I like the shoes, because, you know…leopard. I’m actually wait-listed for a pair right now (it appears that style in that print was just a wee bit popular).
ShoeMint, if you haven’t heard about it yet, is a members-only shoe subscription service (the shoe equivalent...

Weekend Snapshots
Alright, so how did Friday’s little trip go?
Pretty well!
I found a home that’s worth a second look, at the very least. It doesn’t have the rambling, wide-open property around it that made me fall in love with the last place…but it has other things that are equally great (and maybe even greater), like everything we could possibly want in terms of space (the last place...

Someone I'd Like You To Meet
I’m about to introduce you to one of the bravest women I’ve ever come across.
In the few weeks that I’ve been corresponding with Danielle, I’ve been struck by one thing above all: this girl is joyful. She’s lived through an unimaginably horrific car accident in the Middle East, months and months of excruciating surgeries and rehab, and a chronic condition that was...
“Get rid of anything that isn’t useful, beautiful or joyful.”
– Good advice to remember.

Wish Us Luck!
Today we (meaning just the two of us) are headed out again to search for houses. I’ve never traveled alone with Indy before (I mean, I know it’s just the MetroNorth, but still: with a 3 1/2-month-old, this counts as travel)…and I have to say: a little nervous. I have so many diapers with me. So many socks.
Luck, please!
Also, come hang out with me on Twitter - I’ll...

Objects Of Affection: Bright Little Things
Sunshine-yellow flowers from Mom and Dad…
A candy-colored compact (that bounces, to boot)…
An all-seasons scarf in orange, black, and tons of tassels…
A collection of colors from The Capitol*…
And a rainbow cuff to color up the greyest of days.
*For the Hunger Games fans among you, that’s a preview of the China Glaze Capitol Colours Collection that...

Three Pretty Spring Dresses To Wear Now
Buy now; wear with tights and flat boots now; get excited about wearing without tights and flat boots later.
From left: Collective Concepts ($74), Mara Hoffman ($242), Keepsake ($143).
And having nothing to do with spring dresses that you can wear now (because this is too summery, and you shouldn’t wear it now at all), but just because I can’t believe that I’m saying...
HEY LANEY: Last night, 1am →
this sounds about right.
heylaney:
Somehow, our little family of three found ourselves on the couch in the living room at the godawful hour of 1am. (Post-child, the hours between 1am and 6am are all filed under “godawful.”)
Two of us were barely hanging on, eyes closing, our bodies aching from our second sleepless night in a row.

Accessories Council V-Day Gift Picks
Last night I stopped into the Accessories Council (how fancy does that sound?) to check out their top Valentine’s Day gift picks. After the jump, my favorite choices of their choices, so you have more choices.
Clockwise from far left: Bauble Bar Aqua Boho Drop Earrings ($28), Fresh Brown Sugar Lip Polish ($22.50), Eberjey Lady Godiva chemise ($66), Stella and Dot Zodiac...

Can I Just Say?
Yesterday, thanks to a little creature whose very favorite thing is practicing his yowling skills at 2AM, I was so tired that when I got up to use the bathroom in the middle of a meeting, I stood in front of an open sliding door and pawed at the lock like a monkey, trying to figure out how to open…the open sliding door. Someone had to help me. For seriously. Miraculously, the people with...

Well, We Tried
So yesterday we put an offer in on a house we loved (the one I took these photos outside of), and this morning I found out that we didn’t get it. You know how it’s supposedly this Terrible Horrible Housing Market right now? Well, despite that fact we somehow managed to find ourselves in the midst of a bidding war, and ended up dramatically outbid - like, we couldn’t even begin...

Strawberry Peach Vodka Collins Popsicles
I’m sorry, maybe you didn’t hear me.
STRAWBERRY PEACH VODKA COLLINS POPSICLES.
I know, I know: vodka doesn’t freeze, you say. But I once asked the chef at SPiN NYC (where they serve freezy pops filled with various liquors) about this, and it is possible if you proportion it correctly with freezable ingredients - like the tonic water that’s in these.
I don’t even...

New RG Facebook Page
Morning!
Awhile back, I made the mistake of opening up a zillion Facebook pages spread out all over the place, and it got completely confusing and impossible to maintain. So: I’ve decided to consolidate them into just one.
This one.Â
I’m working on making it prettier and more streamlined, so if you have a moment pop by to say hi!

Like Brandon Walsh's Girlfriend
Remember how I told you I met Jason Priestley once? And sort of lost my mind?
Well, on Sunday I dressed up like his girlfriend from the 90210 days. (The first one, kids. It was television perfection.)
I mean…kinda, right?
I feel like this is the sort of outfit that would be worn by the new girl who just started working as a photographer at the school paper, and who makes Andrea...

How-To: Wear Hats! (Because You Should)
Q. Hi, Jordan!
I love hats. I would wear a hat every day if I could, but I have a problem: I can’t figure out how to wear them. Any advice?
- Steph
A. Oh, I used to be so not into hats. I didn’t think they looked good on me, and besides, every time I wore one I was just so aware of the thing, and felt like everyone else was, too. “Oh, that girl? You mean the one IN THE...
